I wanted to speak to say I already know But fear held tight and I couldn't let it show Afraid to disappoint I stayed in the shade While time slipped by and memories decayed.
The color in your eyes I try to recall But even that now begins to fall I whispered to silence, What made you stray? Was it my fault you turned away?
I stood still hoping you'd turn around Longing for footsteps yet hearing no sound Waiting to be saved heart open wide But you ran and I stayed left behind
Now I see clearly the truth in the change You're not the same and I've grown estranged I waited for you in dusk and in storm But Iβve changed too I donβt wait anymore.
A reflective poem about loving in silence, waiting in vain, and finally choosing to let go. It traces the journey from fear and longing to the quiet strength of moving on.
